Deliveries to the White House had lost their initial sense of ‘awe’ after about the second one. By then he’d learned the names of pretty much all the faces in the kitchen and had even gotten used to the searches the USS agents had to do. Ben had basically created a routine, and very little ever seemed to change. That is until now. He walked in with his usual greetings only to turn around be met face-to-face with the President herself. After almost dropping the box in his hand, he managed to get a handle on it and smiled at the woman. “Madam President, hi. Sorry, was that too forward? I don’t mean any disrespect.”

Ben spotted her as he was rounding another lap of the ice-rink, and came to a stop before the woman. As the ice that was kicked up by his blades landed square on the woman’s face, Ben’s own immediately felt the warmth of the red tinge he knew would be there and not be related to the cold. “My bad,” he manged, as he brought up his hands to start wiping the snow off her face, “I misjudged, but hey at least you know that if there were any like errant hot chocolate drips, they’ll be gone now.”

Ben volunteered to help out with the weekly delivery to the Air Force base, mostly because Jack -the coworker who was assigned the delivery- was clearly in need of a hand, but also because he was just curious to get to see what he could scope out while there. Even while keeping mostly to the mess hall, what he could see of their surroundings was so incredibly cool. Though, not as cool as when he spotted his own surname on an Airman’s patch. “Oh cool! I’ve never met another Skywalker before,” he exclaimed, already walking over to the man. “Do you get a lot of the Star Wars jokes too?”

Ben had grown to genuinely look forward to some of his deliveries. This happened to one of them. There was something about the guy that made it really easy to get along with him, and it always seemed more like catching up with a friend or something and less like helping some dude with his groceries. Using his elbow to ring the doorbell, he called out, “I’ve got your groceries, old man!”

It wasn’t necessarily that he hated his job or anything, but he certainly did love soccer far more. So the second he could clock out, he was running as fast as he could all the way home so he could hop on and play some FIFA before having to get to actual practice. Of course, when he got into a one-track mindset, Ben was guilty of not being as aware of his surroundings as he probably should be. Which is how he managed to collide with someone else as he rounded a corner, and found himself on his back in the middle of the sidewalk.

As he rushed into the first vet’s clinic that could remember, Ben rushed up to the front counter, stumbling slightly from the weight of the dog he carried in his arms. “Hi, sorry. Is there a vet available right now? I found him on the side of the road and it looks like he was probably hit by someone. He doesn’t sound very good.” How anyone could harm another living creature and just leave them was beyond him, but when he’d come across them after a delivery, Ben knew he couldn’t just leave them there.
